Ina Sovsun

Ukrainian opposition parliamentarian Ina Sovsun says President Trump seems willing to play Putin's game.

He has no real plan to stop this war.

Putin is playing at peace talks to play for time, she says, while Ukrainians really want to end this war.

We are the ones bearing the cost of the burden of this war.

We are the ones seeing our citizens, our friends, our family members being killed.

We are the ones who are freezing here in Kiev and other cities.

And yet the Trump administration does not pressure Russia, she says.

It pressures Ukraine to hold elections in the midst of the war, to give away territory it has fought to hold on to.

There are 200,000 people living on those territories.

Sofsun says Ukraine cannot accept peace at that price.
